Positives of using Technology in the classroom
*Gives them access to information they might not have in their textbook
*Its the world they live in now, to take away their primary source of information would be unfair to their education.
*It promotes self sufficient learning, allowing them to learn on their own time

Negitives of Technology in the classroom
*There are so many apps on the computer and other technology it makes some of the old methods of doing things extinct. ex. calculators start to replace math, Scissors are replaced by cutting apps, paper is replaced by the computer screen.
*Students start to depend on Google and other websites for their information rather than investigating for themselves.

IXL
IXL is a great way for students to learn and have fun on their own time.
The World Wide Web

The 21st Century
Now in the 21st century learning is so closely knit with technology its hard to separate the two.
